At the risk of being reported to the ASPCA, I will just mention that using an xPAP's 'leaf blower' functionality, is a great way to satisfy a cat's curiousity about the new addition to their bedroom!!!

Bubble wand! How fun would that be????? Just make sure not to let those tippy little plastic soap bubble bottles get the gook in your cpap! Terry

Derek, that's classic!

I don't know what humidifier that is, but if it's heated, you could have boiled tropical fish for dinner (but then how would you get them out?)!

I use the detachable end of my air hose to rebuff my cat when it begins whinning for food in the wee hours of the morning...one good blast seems to keep the feline intruder at bay for another hour or so.\

Cyngen.....my massage therapist already suggested that. Too bad......I'm too short to be convincing.Hm............but it could still be useful for scaring little kids. Good for getting rid of telemarketers too. Tried it....just slap the mask on, mumble something & they hang up, not to be heard from again. Insect repeller, snorkle when you're trying to hide under the blankets......um. Well ok, let me think........

When staying at my brothers the battery powered blower for his airmatress ran out. I plugged in my cpap and had it inflated in half the time. And i am only at a 7.
